The woman's son this week admitted to accidentally shooting 13-year-old Monae Turnage, whose body was carried out of a rowhouse and disposed of with garbage bags. Another child admitted to helping conceal Monae's body.

Attorney Isaac Klein said a prosecutor alerted him to the DNA link and asked if there was a reasonable explanation.

Turnage's relatives said they were also told about the DNA by homicide detectives. They said they were told it could show she was involved in moving the body.
